Waving

Waving was produced to promote the third studio album from Blackfield entitled: ‘Welcome to my DNA’.

Blackfield is the acclaimed collaboration between Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree) and Israeli artist Aviv Geffen. Formed after a meeting in 2000, the partnership blossomed into a cross-cultural collaboration that has already spawned two albums (2004′s Blackfield and 2007′s Blackfield II).

This was my third full length venture into 3D animation. The software I used was Cinema 4D. It was produced in my free time over the course of 3 months.
